Over the summer, we’ve had the pleasure of celebrating 8 newly recorded James Baldwin audiobooks, with a remarkable range of voices bringing his work to a new generation of listeners.

For our final announcement, it feels fitting that we’re closing out the series with Baldwin’s final novel, JUST ABOVE MY HEAD, narrated by André Santana and now available exclusively on Audible.

Set against a vividly drawn background of the civil rights movement of the sixties, Baldwin's monumental final novel spans New York to Paris, Korea to Africa to portray how profoundly racial politics can shape life, especially in the private business of love.

Matthew Salesses has written gorgeously and provocatively across fiction and nonfiction. Now, we couldn’t be more excited for his forthcoming memoir, TO GRIEVE IS TO CARRY ANOTHER TIME.

Already named one of Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2026 and included in The New York Times’ roundup of Nonfiction Books Everyone Will be Talking About in 2026, this is a deeply personal memoir that dwells in readers thoughts long after turning the final page.

"Salesses’ fiction and his craft writing are consistently revelatory, and I expect his writing on consumptive and transformative experience of grief will be consuming, wrenching, and essential." –LitHub

TO GRIEVE IS TO CARRY ANOTHER TIME is available for preorder now, and Matt is currently reviewing invitations for events featuring his new book!

Happy pub day to Youssef Rakha's POSTMUSLIM, an ambitious and timely essay collection exploring what it means to be Arab-Muslim in the twenty-first century! 📖✨

“Thoughtful, imaginative and erudite, Rakha’s book offers a vision of Arab-Muslim identity based in tolerance, diversity, and pride in global citizenship.”
—Kirkus

POSTMUSLIM tells the story of Islam’s clash with the West over the last thirty years, and is vital book for anyone negotiating their own relationship to alienation, faith, intersecting identities, and the hypocrisy of those in power.

Congratulations to Wilbert L. Cooper on the publication of THE BLACK SHIELD: An American Memoir of Family and Power!

Both an epic history and an intimate family story, THE BLACK SHIELD is a startling account of the lives of Black cops in one Midwestern city. Drawing from his own family's history in Cleveland policing, Cooper explores the complex duality of the Black cop and the intertwined histories of race, power, and policing in America.

“A revealing, closely observed account of police culture and its discontents.” — Kirkus Reviews ⭐

We’re honored to share THE BLACK SHIELD with readers and celebrate the conversations this remarkable memoir will inspire. 📖✨

Interested in bringing Will's insights to your campus, conference, or organization? Get in touch with Pande Lecture Management for speaking inquiries.🎤 📖
